6:03 pm
but the reality is that fifty percent of norwegians are against multiculturalism as people here try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twitter already thing relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police on the e.u. growing far right movement while others fear this will only fuel resentment against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece spoke together this shuts at lloyd's but the experts warn this might not be the last such a turk as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows w. bush you see oslo. earlier r.t. spoke with it will of anderson a spokesman for the union of russian communities in sweden and someone who knew anders breivik personally he says the news came as a shock to him although he believes breviary was surrounded by things that could potentially influence his actions. i could not imagine i cannot even imagine

justin darden a research fellow with the dubai initiative says recent years have created the perfect environment for far right extremism to flourish. while this transnational islamic terrorism has been on the radar for some time the very real threat of the homegrown right wing extremists has been over law within most western countries we have seen two things happening at the same time we have seen this type of ratcheting up of rhetoric anti immigration rhetoric this is happening to us and also western europe and there's also been this demise we can say multiculturalism so there have been individuals that have more or less become quite quite self radicalized due to vironment and also due to the idea that there's just been an influx of immigration then compound these factors has also been the global economic
6:06 pm
crisis so you have the euro zone crisis and you also have how the global economic crisis impacted united states so there has been a general type of environment which has encouraged individuals to take out their frustrations newly arrived immigrants so i think that this is something that is actually very very very very important for western policy makers to look at so i think in the coming years we're going to see more of this right wing extremism. in the light of these attacks norway has imposed new border controls denmark did the same thing more than two weeks ago a move strongly criticized by other e.u. members alexander sullivan from moscow state humanitarian university says there are signs that united europe may be coming apart. the european project is collapsing slowly collapsing you know there are lots of live rounds coming from asia from the north africa and some countries how to get cancer rates fold is they have to prove

year of paean nato partners coming away in the next hour i'll go and i'll speak with alexis crow from the u.k. israel institute of international affairs about nato's role in the libyan conflict here's a quick preview. if you look at the international community in the wider international community sometimes if you look at natives engagement with other countries for example afghanistan. and iraq it's given me to a bad name it's means that the u.k. and the u.s. are coming to see regime change sensually and so because of that bad name to begin with france and britain and the us did not explicitly did not use the words regime change and of course there are several airpower serious one of whom is called eliot cohen from america and he said that the use of air power exclusive air power to carry out a political solution is equivalent to modern courtship. immediate satisfaction with
6:21 pm
little guarantees or commitments and so in one sense is a policy of what robert pape calls decapitation decapitation policy literally taking the head off of a regime does little to change anything political on the ground as we've so clearly seen in afghanistan with the removal of the taliban and so we've clearly seen with the removal of saddam hussein so it's not a policy that works regime change. however i would say that therefore it wasn't on the cards to begin with in that very overt sense but of course it had to be because you if you're thinking of stopping him killing his citizens you obviously have to stop him. from being in power in some sense i would say that in libya either we should have gone in a tall. or we should have done something like this which of course is not the nature of coalition fighting.

of the country a little bit how much is a little but. a few percentage points more and that's about it that's about it since fifty percent of the american public does not pay a nickel i would have a problem i believe everybody even if it's a dollar fifty everybody should be in this shared sacrifice you know the parents of how much work if you actually if you know if i'm working hard and i make you my good my good share you know why do i want to get taken away from me when people who you know don't. you know you just spend a lot more money in taxes so that more people have my service says you have to pay for people who aren't working as hard as you yeah yeah. yeah ok with that. yeah i think everybody should have it ok so i think it's ok because if you pay too much texas you know you to get energy from people who want to work so if you're too
6:24 pm
much texas you have a better government like in the states that have better government they spend all the money on creation wars in iraq and afghanistan. so i would say first stop the stupid wars and then. i don't need. no matter how you feel about taxes the bottom line is you're probably always going to have to pay them but it's up to your government to use those funds well. we've got plenty more on line for you at our website r t v dot com here's what's a click away right now. georgian petard refers convicted of spying for russia released with colleagues convinced their confessions confessions were coerced and find out why the local opposition believe the case had nothing to do with justice from the start lots of. foreign skeptics said it was ridiculous but a russian military innovation has bounced back and just might become
